A preview of the special redistricting session; President and Vice President honor Mrs. Carter

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Bill Nigut, and Tia Mitchell discuss the upcoming special redistricting session. Former Congressman John Barrow provides insights on the proposed maps. During his tenure, Barrow moved from Athens to Savannah, and then to Augusta as his districts were redrawn. 

   

Then, former President Jimmy Carter will attend his wife’s Rosalynn Carter’s memorial service at Emory University in Atlanta this afternoon. This marks his first trip out of Plains since going into home hospice earlier this year. The AJC's Martha Dalton also updates us from Sumter County as tributes pour in for the former first lady. Dalton tells us how Gen Z is remembering Carter at her alma mater Georgia Southwestern State University.    

  

Plus, host Tia Mitchell explains why U.S. Rep Buddy Carter is the latest member of Georgia’s congressional delegation to endorse Donald Trump.
